While this would be great, I don't see it being too useful since the GNU
toolchain doesn't produce makefiles for Windows compilers apart from the
cygwin stuff, and also, I doubt it you really want to require the cygwin
autotools to build Xerces from source on Windows.

There will be support for the official proprietary compilers running on Windows, through their own makefile/project architecture; but some people wants to use cygwin or MinGW on Windows (or even Microsoft Services for Unix), so it's better our autoconf code can pick the Windows code in that case.

Myself, I maintain config_win32.h files that predefine the autoconf test
results so that the code doesn't know the difference.

I'd be happy to learn there's actually a clean way to use autotools on
Windows though...
